Playoffs - Pick EVERY SERIES!

[winkyduck]

Just for fun - let's pick how we think the Playoffs will go - round by round that is. Pick the 4 winners of each opening round then 2 in the Conf Semis and then what the Cup matchup will be as well as how many games and who the MVP will be

This is NOT for any money (sorry) just to see who can get the most right. Games start Wednesday April 15 around 4P (PDT)/7P (EDT) so have all pix in by then. Make sure you re-seed after every round

The first round matchups are:

West
****
#1 San Jose vs #8 Anaheim
#2 Detroit vs #7 Columbus
#3 Vancouver vs #6 St Louis
#4 Chicago vs #5 Calgary

East
****
#1 Boston vs #8 Montreal
#2 Washington vs #7 NY Rangers

the more amazing thing is of the 6 of us in it - 5 still have their Cup winner alive and to show how screwy it is all but the Hawks were chosen to win the Cup

3 Det

1 Caanes

[winkyduck]

The Conf Finals aren't officially OVER - but they are OVER and we will get another Det/Pitt Finals so with that in mind the updated standings are:

in a day or so i will grade these using a points system: 1 for a first round pick, 2 for 2nd and so on...that will DEFINITELY change things somewhat
